Certainly both the North and the South knew that the Confederacy would have an overall defensive strategy and offensive would come from counter attacks. The North had to know that its large navy would be needed to blockade Southern ports.

It was only the brilliance of Lee's and Jackson's aggressive defense in Northern Virginia that kept the South in the war as long as it was.
